On my father's side, my oldest known ancestor was a Bohemian nobleman, member of an old Saxon family. He was governor of two Silesian duchies and fought on the Catholic side in the Hussite wars in the 15th Century.
On my mother's side, my ancestors belonged to the Alsatian aristocracy, members of the House of Saint Jacques before the French Revolution. My oldest known relative fought the British during the Thirty Years War.
